But it looks like that they skipped the horseriding for sailing instead of improving it.

I thought I read somewhere that horses are still in, and that they'd smoothed the geometry and reworked collisions handling. Some interview posted a while back.

That would be nice. I really liked the way horses were handled, except of collision bug.

I am playing the first part right now and I like it so far. It sure is h&s but quite rewarding and fun to play. The world is huge. I guess I invested 20h+ and it looks like I uncovered obly 1/4 of the world (just along the paths, not to mention wilderness).

What really bothers is typical h&s mechanic, e.g., killing mobs every fucking 50 meters. Although sometimes they surrender when you are already known badass around the world which is a nice touch.

Another thing that i don't like is the way you can develop your avatar. I started with stealthy bowman in mind, but I am already burdened by fucking 100 kg pauldrons and stuff. And I can still sneak!! That is shit. Not to mention that it somehow looks stupid being Robin Hood in full plate armor.

I have fear all flaws will be repeated in TW2. These guys do not have someone in their team to hold their horses and make the world more believable, I am afraid. Still, I am looking forward to what will come out of it

This place is going to become really confusing if two worlds 2 and the witcher 2 come out at the same time.

I don't read giobberish. Type in English or at least broken English.

Stack your gear. If you have a leather helmet, for example, and find an identical leather helmet, you can combine the two (click and drop) and you'll get a leather helmet stronger than either of them individually. AFAIK, you can do this as much as you want. It's been a while since I've played it, but I'm 90% I'm thinking of the right game.

That stacking thing sounds like a nice idea.

However, how the hell does that work? Does the PC glue one armour on top of another? Multi-bladed sword hitting ass and head?

You just combine them, one weapon disappears and the other get a stat bonus. And its indefinite. Not a bad idea to save inventory space but it was to actionoriented for my taste. The new system sounds better: you divide the weapons and armor in several components and can combine them to something new.

That does sound much better.
